Let's Go Exploring on Day 5

Camp Carson's Class of Learning

Anyone that has visited my class knows that I LOVE moose...there are pictures, stuffed animals, books, droppings (I did not collect these ~ students have brought them back from their vacations. You have to love 5th graders sense of humor!), etc. Therefore, all my students are introduced to my collection (obsession sounded just a little too strong) and they are more than welcome to become a part of it.

My project today is a Survival Kit for each student. Since students are going to be exploring a challenging curriculum this year, I knew they were going to need a few supplies. I created 18 of these bags (the maximum number of students allowed in grades 4 - 5 is 22 due to class size amendment)

I used the Camp Out cartridge for the moose, frame, and sign. The grass was cut from Plantin Schoolbook. The Survival Guide was typed on Microsoft Word.

I am going to include items such as: pencils, erasers, Smarties, a free homework pass (I am going to use the scrap pieces from inside the frames), and a bookmark (which I will be making this week).

I will be honest...I did not spend as much time on these bags as I did the cards because I knew kids would not save these. They are going to take the goodies out and cram the bag "somewhere". I am definitely going with "the thought counts" on this one.
